Thousands of people took to the streets of New York to protest against federal immigration policies

Protests against federal immigration policies in New York, the United States, escalated on the 10th. Thousands of protesters took to the streets and gathered at City Hall and other places, waving signs such as “Stop Deportation” and shouting “Stand with Los Angeles”. The scene was out of control for a time. The protest on that day was the largest in New York City in recent days. New York City dispatched a large number of police forces, some protesters were pinned to the ground, and at least 15 people were arrested. According to local media reports, the police arrested 24 protesters in front of Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York City on the 9th. The protest was initiated by labor unions and immigrant groups, aiming to demand that the US federal government completely stop the current crackdown on illegal immigration and oppose the government’s dispatch of the Marine Corps and the National Guard to Los Angeles to assist in the arrest of illegal immigrants. Some protesters told reporters at the scene that they opposed the federal government’s immigration policy, the victims of which included people around them, and the deportation of illegal immigrants violated the rights of many people. US federal agency personnel who were hunting down illegal immigrants have clashed with Los Angeles residents many times in recent days. In the absence of a request for support from the California governor, US President Trump signed a presidential memorandum on the 7th to deploy 2,000 California National Guard personnel to the Los Angeles area. According to local media reports on the 10th, Marines have arrived in Los Angeles. Several US media reported that related protests have also spread to dozens of cities including Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco.
